INTRODUCTION
Life is part of different ages where individual analyze different experience in multiple
ages factors. It includes different age of groups like toddlerhood, childhood, adolescence, aged
and many more where people evaluate numerous experiences from changes in their biological
aspects, family culture, social environment, relatives, friends and many more (Bernardini and
et.al., 2018). From the case study it’s been evaluated that Joel when enter into adolescence age I
analyze that their mood swings depends on various factors. Joel suffered issues from mental
health issues because of mother death in 12 year age and family conflicts. This study will
develop information that how counselor can specifically resolve physiological issues or manage
life efficiency within specific period of time, Also its explain which intervention technique helps
to resolve individual issue for their facilitate change and its provides knowledge of how mental
health counselor play major role in Joel mental health stability.
MAIN BODY
Key principles and goals of the approach in working with Joel
I evaluated from the Joel activities that within Adolescence period of time which means
12 years of age when he lose his mother they get badly impacts and affects from mental health
issues. I analyze that when children grow they mainly evaluated and identified numerous factors
and activities from their near cultural and family members activities which impacts on their
mental health.
From the above study of Joel I clearly I decides to become counselor who mainly has
ideas and experience for resolve mental, psychological health issues solution and provide better
life to patients who suffer from mental disorder because its essential to individual who mainly go
through from age within 10 to 19 where as a counselor I do have clarity that individual get
mainly affects from family conflicts (Knoester and et.al., 2019).
When Joel was in age of 12th years old and his mother death happened. So in this
developmental period of life decide to implement one major principles and goal approach for
their health effectiveness is daily motivational practices distribution like they do have listen good
things, involves into different tasks and participates into social culture, build attraction towards

with education and also communicate with Joel father. Because Joel told that father does work
hard for his but he is not able to provide love and support to me which I wants in teen age. So
Joel get badly affects from this experience that how mother lose can badly impact on life, from
the evaluation and understanding of this situation as counselor I clearly decides to situate stress
management techniques and principles which mainly includes are as follows,
Excursive and Make time of fun: In this age group experience its very clear that provide
information to Joel within this specific period of time that from various issues from different
period of life can be easily managed with doing exercise on daily basis. So from the evaluation
of this life experience its clear that as counselor I provides information to engage with people
who provide lots of fun for change in mindset and for better life.
Go outside from house and participates in interested work: Joel says that his father doing
work hard for better future but from their lack of love and support impacts on his mental health
because within teen age love and support is major key for effective life. From the participates
into interested work helps to become happy because it develops freshness in mood and resolve
conflicts.
So as counselor I try to gives best advices for very clear that in adolescence
developmental age individual felt changes in their mental aspects, behavioral and biological
aspects. And I felts very clear that when individual get suffer from all the issues because in this
age group lose of friend in, lose of mother, analyze that how my father ‘s lack of support
influence towards with the wrong thing and from the social factors like people thinking and their
comments badly affects on mental health.
Explanation as the counselor when applying the approach for mental health sustainability of
children
Factors that influence mental sustainability of Joel mental health disorder:
Counselor mainly evaluated which major life experience get badly impacts on Joel life which is
useful for application of new approaches for resolution of Joel mental health because its very

essential term for the mental health sustainability on the basis of proper treatment application
area as follows,
Social respond: I analyze from the research and study of Joel life experience that within 12
years and in 36 age on the basis of their life fluctuations and conflicts I do have clarity that social
cultural activities like he mainly suffer issues from family experience, their way of
communication, and their different experience, also from neighbors activities influence mental
health get highly affected form all these events which happens into life (Fritz and et.al., 2018).So
as consoler I decide to provide information individual has to build confidence and they do have
duty to participates with different people who has good behaviors and I analyses that lose of
mother is biggest incident of life but for the continues life requires uses of motivational
approaches. This event within developmental period and aged badly changes Joel’s life.
Family conflicts: It includes that when Joel able to understand what things happened into family
after 12 year. Joel clearly analyzes that his father do hard work but they not get success and from
my mother death they do have multiple responsibilities. So he’s always gets nervous and from
the lack of father support influenced in communication and sharing experience to others. When I
lose my mother he was not able to understand which things are right or which things are wrong
so from the lack of support or knowledge Joel suffered mental health issues. And it generate
because they don’t have inivdiual who guides me on how to communicate and build personality
on the basis of requirement.
Unexpected events: Joel faced and suffered from various unexpected events in life. Firstly lose
of mother, then father not provide love and support so they not maintain their personality and
discipline in society area, people not communicate with proper manner because of father
behavior, lack of support and many more. So from the all the events Joel gets very depressed and
also not able to do something because of age factor and in this age biological factors of human
health get affected from various reasons as well (Hambrick and et.al., 2019). Thus, multiple
unexpected events has power to badly influence whole Adolescence period of life because when
individual get enter into school individual don’t have good friend as well because of lack of
confidence people not communicate with well manner. From the evaluation of multiple aspects
of life its been clear that social, family and unexpected events badly affects on developmental

period because they so many people get not understand how individual children when he enter
into teen age life they get suffer problems from external of internal cultural factors.
 Counselor approaches
Counselor is all above refers to includes how children can move from specific developmental
period from bad experience and involves new activities for their better life. Development and
application of multiple activities and sources has power to resolve multiple conflicts with great
manner. I decide that as counselor which mainly develops duty and responsibility to provide
best and sustainable mental health sustainability developmental theories which provide specific
group of age of individual activities that how application of specific sources, approaches can
resolve inivdiual mental health issues with great manner (Bundy and et.al., 2018)
From the my experience in field of counselor that almost every emotion, practices, life
experience, and activities of individual from the born. Counselor reviews their techniques in
context of mental health sustainability is all above refers to resolve various factors of human who
face different behavioral aspects, social, family issues, conflicts in their different life stages. And
within different life stages individual get suffer lots of issues from external or internal
environment which impacts on their mental health efficiency with very bad manner because of
unexpected events.
Thus, from the ideas and ifnroamtion of multiple aspects individual when suffer issues
from mental disorder they do have responsibility to concern with cognitive behavioral
approaches and counselor which has proper ideas for how to provide guidance to patient who get
suffer problems from social, family and other aspects. In context of Joel its essential that they
participates into cultural activities and try to build higher concern and communicate with father
about what they feel, early childhood to adults age of individual influence individual mental
health, behavioral aspects and many more. So its important term to communicate and share
feeling with someone who cares for you which is sustainable practices to forget bad experience
and engage new activities within life for resolution of mental illness this theory will guide to
individual with better manner.
I also analyze that Joel mental health also influence from their work culture which
influence their family conflicts when he became adult. But as counselor uses of motivational

practices like provide guidance to Joel that happiness and love in life can be possible when you
try to do in where you do have interest and daily communicate with good manner with wife and
try to resolve conflicts.
Relevance of the chosen approach to Joel’s case
From the Adolescence developmental period Joel get learn and affects from so many
things and from the social behavior conflicts and they prefers to developed clear mindset that
Joel has duty to engage and to build higher concern and focuses towards with the application of
cognitive behavior is very essential because it motivated to other and develop better life.
Involves new practices and many more which can helps a lot because he mainly suffer
issues within adult age when his age is 36. I analyze that Joel don’t have potential to do any work
because of my mental illness which badly affects my life experience when he get lose his mother
and from father behavior get also changes when he really needs of father for sharing new
experience of biological to physiological aspects. As counselor I feels that life is unexpected
movements of combination human has no power to identify that what they do have to suffer in
their life. Thus, this theory mainly build focuses on specific group of age where children mainly
gives instruction with hands, facial expressions and mainly crying gesture what they feel and
how family members, parents can resolve their conflicts. So it’s important term that family
always gives support to their child and focuses on develop environment where they can easily
share their experience with great manner (Luciana and et.al., 2018).
Two techniques or interventions from the approach that you would use with Joel to facilitate
change
Cognitive behavioral approach:
This approach is all above refers to distribution of guidance to human who get suffer
from mental disorder, helps to resolve mental health issues, depression and many more. So as
counselor I do have duty to engage this approach for get to know this term that cognitive
behavior specialist can helps to reduce my mental health issues which influence from various
aspects. It’s very important part of Joel life because without having this approach it badly
impacts on long term life efficiency (Munekata and et.al., 2020). I analyzed that Joel was faced
various conflicts in life when his life stage is Adolescence period where individual have so many

option to learn and build their future with sustainable area. From the family issues or conflicts,
relatives point of views, educational environment, friends behaviors and many more aspects
badly impacts on my mind and then he felt very alone. So when use of cognitive approach I
provide guidance to participates into activities and area where they felt happy and communicate
and share point of view with others, thus it badly impacts on mindset and he enter into
depression and mental health depression because of lack of support from parents and others.
Professional helps:
Adolescence developmental period is one of the major part of life where human can learn
various things like how to build personality, how to communicate, how to analyze which things
best or not, new feelings create for others, family members knowledge, participate into social
cultural activities and many more. So this age of group mainly includes activities where
individual learn numerous aspects for their future effectiveness. But in Joel case who get
suffered from various aspects because of lose of mother and lack of support from father. Because
family is the first key where individual can build knowledge and learn so many essential things
for better future or for the effective personality. Thus from the application of cognitive behavior
approach develop higher efficiency in my personality because it helps to reduce stress so Joel
decides to provide information to every human, that individual has duty to manage their life
effectiveness includes practices from cognitive approaches because they do have power to
resolve various aspects for effective life (Howell and et.al., 2019).
CONCLUSION
It has been summarized from the above reflective study that as cognitive behavioral
approach is major essential term for reduce stress and mental disorder. It has been clearly
informed that developmental theories helps to individual which provide cognitive behavioral of
children with different age stages which informed that which activities, process, behavioral
aspects they learn from social, family and other are environment. Its been also identified from
the above study that Freudian psychosexual development theories different stages build and
makes more clarity that how Joel suffered issues in my Adolescence developmental period where
he has to build higher concern on study and personality but from the family conflicts and other

unwanted and unexpected events badly impacts on my performance and sustainability of life
effectiveness.
